Which of the following is the most appropriate description of an electric current?

1 answer:

6 0

Electric current is the flow of charge due to the potential difference between two terminals per unit time. It is denoted by I and its unit is amp. It can be mathematically expressed as I=Q/t.

The Moon orbits Earth in an average of p = 27.3 days at an average distance of a =384,000 kilometers. Using Newton’s version of

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

The mass of the earth, $M=6.023\times 10^{24}\ kg$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Time taken by the moon to orbit the earth, $T=27.3\ days=2358720\ m$

Distance between moon and the earth, $r=384000\ km=384\times 10^6\ m$

We need to find the mass of the Earth using Kepler's third law of motion as :

$T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{GM}r^3$

$M=\dfrac{4\pi^2r^3}{T^2G}$

$M=\dfrac{4\pi^2\times (384\times 10^6)^3}{(2358720)^2\times 6.67\times 10^{-11}}$

$M=6.023\times 10^{24}\ kg$

So, the mass of the earth is $6.023\times 10^{24}\ kg$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

Which device uses a rotating magnetic field to produce an electric current?

Kay [80]

The correct answer is C) a motor.
In particular, we are talking about an AC motor, which produces an alternating current. In an AC motor, a coil is immersed in a rotating magnetic field. Due to the motion of the magnetic field,the angle between the direction of the field and the surface enclosed by the coil changes. As a result, the magnetic flux through the coil changes over time (the magnetic flux is given by:
 $\phi=BAcos\theta$ 
where B is the intensity of the magnetic field, A is the area enclosed by the coil and $\theta$ is the angle between the direction of B and the perpendicular to the plane of the coil). For Faraday-Newmann-Lenz law, this change in flux induces an electromotive force (emf) into the coil, according to:
 $emf=- \frac{d \Phi}{dt}$ 
where the numerator is the variation of magnetic flux and dt is the time interval. This emf in the coil produced an electrical current in the circuit.

A force of 6.00 N acts in the positive direction on a 3.00 kg object, originally traveling at +15.0 m/s, for 10.0 s. (a) What is

frozen [14]

Answer:

60 kg m/s

Explanation:

Let $a\;\; m/s^2$ be the acceleration of the object.

As the acceleration of the object is constant, so

$a=\frac {v-u}{t}\cdots(i)$

Given that applied force, F=6.00 N,

From Newton's second law, we have

$F= m\times a$ ,

$\Rightarrow F=\frac {m(v-u)}{t}$ [from equation (i)]

$\Rightarrow Ft=m(v-u)$

$\Rightarrow Ft=mv-mu$

$\Rightarrow mv-mu=6\times 10$ [given that time, t=10 s and F=6 N]

$\Rightarrow mv-mu=60 kg \;m/s$

Here mv is the final momentum of the object and mu is the initial momentum of the object.

So, the change in the momentum of the object is mv-mu.

Hence, the change in the momentum of the object is 60 kg m/s.

How could you use the microscopes from this activity to determine

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

The magnification is a function of the lenses in the objective and the eyepiece, so the magnification of the two must be multiplied to obtain the total magnification possible. So, for example, if the objective lens was 4X and the eye piece lens was 10X, the total magnification would be 40. (4 x 10 = 40)
